![]() Electric Nano-Motor A team from Tufts University have created the world's smallest Electric Nano-Motor by running an electric current through a butyl methyl sulfide molecule. When the current is introduced the entire structure spins along its sulfur atom which acts as a pivot, at a rate as high as 120 revolutions per second.ent through a butyl methyl sulfide molecule. The butyl methyl sulphide molecule was placed on a clean copper surface and the tip of a scanning tunnelling microscope - was used to introduce electrical charge into the motor, as well as to take images of the molecule as it spun.ent through a butyl methyl sulfide molecule. Scientists believe that this molecule could further be developed into a motor to power nano-sized devices in medicine. ent through a butyl methyl sulfide molecule.
